[+1,023, -47] If she ever receives an opportunity like in 'Knowing Wife' and she's able to go back into her past, please don't get plastic surgery or do drugs. Try living life as a normal singer for once... because I think you already messed it up this time.3. [+640, -31] A moment where a manmade sculpture and manmade looks become one!!4.

Article: Park Bom, going solo after leaving YG 'can she reclaim her honor of being a good singer?' Source: SBS funE via Nate
1. [+434, -13] Her voice kept getting worse and worse when she was in 2NE1 and she lost her main vocal title to even CL and Minzy later on
2. [+384, -20] Not sure if she's a good singer but she's a good drug taker, I'll give her that
3. [+357, -10] I think she'll reclaim her honor as a plastic singer than anything
4. [+25, -4] I honestly don't think she's a good singer... Her throat always sounds so stuffy. I still remember the song she sang with Taeyang at that Gayo Daejun...
5. [+19, -2] Gong Minzy is the way better singer
6. [+18, -0] She has a unique voice but I never thought she was a good singer. She always sounds unstable when she sings and like she's struggling to get through it.
7. [+18, -3] I used to love 2NE1 and of course Park Bom too and I thought she was a good singer at first with a unique voice but... later on, she was barely able to open her mouth and her voice kept getting stuffier and stuffier. It got harder to listen to her ㅠ
8. [+17, -5] There is no honor for her to reclaim, just stay reflecting and stick to doing your favorite plastic surgery
9. [+16, -1] You can barely understand her lyrics because she has so much botox on her face and she can't even move her muscles to pronounce the words
10. [+12, -3] She has a good voice but I can never forgive a druggie

1. [+1,233, -21] Makes me think of CL who's not even being given work by her CEO
2. [+757, -111] I'm surprised that there's even an agency that still wants her
3. [+231, -40] She looks like a robot
4. [+215, -64] Hm... I used to be a real fan back then but I'll support her a little bit through my heart now
5. [+55, -3] I feel so bad for CL, Minzy, and Dara...

1. [+1,214, -245] I wish people would apply the same standards across the board. There are still celebrities who got caught doing marijuana in the past still promoting today. It's not fair to say only she can't come back. Make the rest of the stars go back on hiatus too then.
2. [+387, -31] She's not going to recover her career unless she comes out with a song as good as 'You & I'
3. [+290, -67] She was prescribed a drug in America that's used to treat ADD and is considered legal. It's illegal in Korea and it was wrong of her to try to bring it here but it's not like she really tried to do drugs or anything.
4. [+110, -27] 'You & I' was so good, I wish she'd release digital songs if she can't come out on TV
5. [+87, -13] There definitely exists a gender bias. Joo Ji Hoon did real, hard drugs while Park Bom took a little bit for her mental problems... and yet they're being treated so different. Joo Ji Hoon has been in two dramas and a variety already.
6. [+49, -3] There are people with worse offenses than Park Bom all over TV right now ㅋㅋ someone even killed someone and is still on TV..

Do people must judge her looks?? Just look and leave. Looks like people can’t talk about anything else than her looks ㅎ
2. [+246, -44]
She took medications and did surgery and ruined herself too much. Where did the old Park Bom go? It’s seriously regrettable ㅠㅠ
3. [+143, -14]
She’s the talk of the town even for something like this… can people not swear at someone who’s doing good work?
4. [+52, -9]
She was seriously so pretty when she was a trainee…
5. [+86, -52]
Singers should only get news about their songs… people, please stop joking about her face getting surgery or looking unnatural
6. [+19, -2]
She must be missing the stage so much… it’s good that she’s taking care of herself. I hope that she gets back on track quickly and doesn’t depend too much on her medication. She should make sure that her mentality is healthy. I hope that she gets to sing soon and that way she can become happy

Article: Park Bom fans set out to clarify, "Not amphetamine, it was adderall"Source: X Sports News via Nate1. [+872, -51] The fans are screaming that everything on 'PD Notebook' is fake ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ hilarious2. [+846, -31] What's fact is that she hid pills categorized as drugs that weren't prescribed to her as jellies and tried to ship it to her grandma's house before getting caught. The police never finished investigating her case and the two prosecutors on her case were known sex perverts Kim Hak Ui and Kim Soo Chang. Those are the facts.3. [+665, -38] This same thing happened with GD's marijuana scandal. His fans ran around lying to shield him and shut up once the media put out the facts. Then he showed up on varieties like 'Healing Camp' and 'Infinity Challenge' to media play for his image. Always the same pattern with YG.4. [+40, -4] I'm more surprised she has any fans left5. [+29, -5] Look at all the ridiculous excuses Wanna One fans come up with to shield them, why would Park Bom fans be any different? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ6. [+28, -2] First of all, I'm surprised that she has fans left. Second of all, I'm surprised that they think just because she ate 4 pills out of the 82 she smuggled in means that it suddenly absolves her of smuggling in 82 pills ㅋㅋ Park Bom needs to be reinvestigated along with the prosecutors and the judge on the case7. [+28, -2] Wait she has fans?????8. [+24, -4] She has fans?? Are they sane??9. [+22, -0] If there was no crime in what she did, why did she hide them and report them as jellies? Didn't she do that because she had something to hide? And this isn't America, this is Korea. If Korea deems it as a drug, that's a drug. How can you apply American laws about adderall to something that happened in Korea? By that logic, since marijuana is legal in some states in America, should it be legal in Korea too? These stupid fans are saying things that don't make any sense.10. [+18, -1] Adderall is just the name of a brand... the medical name for the pills is amphetamine. I'm an American resident and have been taking adderall since I was 14 for over 10 years and adderall and amphetamine are the same thing... it's just like how Tylenol is the brand name for acetaminophen. Amphetamine is a treatment for hyperactivity and add.11. [+15, -2] If Park Bom cared about you fans at all like you're caring for her now, she would've never caused this scandal in the first place ㅋ12. [+12, -1] These fans shielding Park Druggie need to be slapped by a druggie to wake up to reality-

Article: 'Mimishop' Questions on Park Bom banned... Sandara Park suddenly loses her smileSource: TV Report via NateAt the press conference for jTBC's 'Mimishop', a reporter asked Sandara Park, "We know that you're in contact with Park Bom. As she is in the headlines currently, please tell us what she's been up to." The host then replied, "We will only be taking questions about 'Mimishop'." Reporters noticed that Sandara looked taken aback and avoided them with her lips tightly shut. Clearly flustered, she stumbled through answering her questions after.1. [+535, -26] What crime did she commit to deserve this? Go find Park Bom yourself and interview her if you want it that bad2. [+471, -27] Stupid journalists, why would you ask her about Park Bom at a production conference for her own variety?3. [+353, -22] They're not even on the same team anymore, why would you ask her about her ㅋㅋㅋ what an annoying question at a production conference of all places, tsk4.

[+10, -1] Why would she look happy when she's being asked about the b*tch who ruined her singing career. She can act and do varieties all she wants but she'll never live up to her singing career.6.

A Samsung employee was sentenced to jail for the same crime while Park Bom's case got closed in the middle of investigations without any sort of punishment. Are you all idiots? Knock it off already9. [+8, -3] Maybe they're all high with her10. [+6, -1] They're insane... they're truly insane...-

Law experts talked about the abnormal outcome of Park Bom's drug case.
As announced, MBC's 'PD Note' dived further into Park Bom's controversial drug scandal.
Back in 2010, Park Bom was caught using international mail to smuggle narcotic amphetamines. The use and possession of the drug are both illegal in Korea.
Park Bom's agency, YG Entertainment, claimed, "It was for Park Bom's depression treatment purposes and she did not know it was illegal."
The prosecutor suspended her case, meaning they would neither investigate nor punish her for the crime. Meanwhile, the Samsung employee who smuggled the drug was under arrest and indictment.
Law experts claim the ruling is abnormal.
An expert commented, "Park Bom used someone to prescribe the drugs in the U.S and smuggled them along with jellies. It's hard to understand how it was ultimately just suspended."
Lawyer Cho Soo Hyun who covered drug cases in Incheon also stated, "It's very unusual to suspend the smuggling of narcotic amphetamines. There were no such cases before. The person absolutely needs to be booked, and it's normal for the person to receive at least probation, no more what the situation (behind it) might be."
The ruling on Park Bom's case is continuing to bring up questions to this day. Netizens are commenting, "It just doesn't make sense", "I'm suspicious of her agency", "They need to investigate Yang Hyun Suk. Park Bom couldn't have done this on her own", "Smells fishy," "Investigate YG."

Article: 'PD Notebook' Lawyer, "2NE1 Park Bom's drug scandal, her booking suspension was unprecedented"Source: Newsen via Nate1. [+614, -5] Sigh, Park Bom's scandal will be buried once again just like this article will2. [+585, -6] It never made sense logically3. [+554, -7] I'm suspecting that her agency was backscratching some people in higher positions4. [+58, -2] Park Bom and GD's drug scandals are still talked about by the public as being abnormal cases.... I wonder if the lawyers involved that made these decisions feel that these were "normal" results?5. [+46, -1] Even Kang Yong Suk said on a show that her case was something even the head of prosecution wouldn't be able to be lenient with6. [+42, -3] I wonder how much of that had to do with YG7. [+40, -0] Park Bom never ended up in jail because she got lucky with her agency. We really need to reform the corrupt prosecutors.8. [+35, -1] Kang Yong Suk said that her case had to have been handled by someone above the head of the prosecution otherwise her result would've been impossible to get ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ9. [+32, -1] Yeah, Kang Yong Suk already said all this... that her case wasn't something that could've been blocked by anyone below the head of prosecution...10. [+26, -0] I wonder how many kids YG sent the prosecutors to pour their drinks and give them a good time11. [+24, -0] So 29 pills is enough to be jailed but she was given a pass when she had 82??? How can anyone think that a result like this is possible unless bribery is involved???12. [+23, -0] Finally YG is out... what exactly did they serve the government to be so strong in the face of prosecution?-
